Re: Which linux for dvd editing?

I demand that A Watcher may or may not have written...

I have posted previously about my problems with Ubuntu and Mepis. I also
can't play DVDs with them. The Ubuntu player wouldn't work at all

"The Ubuntu player"? Which one do you mean?

and Mepis played it poorly.

Using what?

This was a DVD that I burned on my Pioneer standalone and it has been
played in other players as well as in MSWindoze on this same PC.

It should certainly be playable, then, although I remember having problems
(long since fixed) with xine-lib and the menus on Philips-created DVDs.

I'm wondering what linux versions others are using for playing and editing
DVDs.

2.6.19, currently. :-)

I tried to load PCLinuxOS and the installer blew up with no intelligent
message. Even DamnSmall linux wouldn't install.

.... oh, you meant distributions. You're asking the wrong question; try asking
about applications instead.
